The blue one is absolutely gorgeous :wub:

Thinking of You

It is a very fun listen but the lyrics are absolutely terrible, the rhyming business with business two times is the most clunky for me. I also find the transition from ‘haters look teeny tiny’ to the chorus so sudden, as if it’s just skipped ahead and missed a pre-chorus or something. She was getting better with every release up to the high point of Don’t Call Me Up and it seems there’s just been a downward spiral since then. It genuinely feels each release is worse than the one before. I do enjoy this but I know she can do so much better. I do agree there’s been a lot of studying of other pop stars campaigns, particularly Dua of course.

yass thrilled for Jessie returning to the Top 5! If Marina had got the vinyl out for release week, I’m sure she’d have been confidently Top 10.

Here for this as I adore Silence! Although not heard anything from Marshmellow since Here With Me

Venus Fly Trap and Ancient Dreams really have been a return to form for me, I’m addicted to them both. Really feels like the most natural progression from Froot. Both so much fun, with an incredibly fun video for Venus Fly Trap to match. Can’t believe the album is tomorrow, so hyped!

I’M A MILLIONAIRESS :cheeseblock: omg I’ll be ordering the green one but not here for it coming 8 months after the albums been released!! At least she can get her two weeks Top 100...

Homesick with Room for 2 very close behind!

The original Groovejet is finally on streaming services :cheeseblock:

I think it’s a shame to artists that put so much work into creating a body of work only for it to spend 2 weeks Top 100 because people are streaming singles which is the sole reason many albums then stay in the chart. It’s really diminishing what an album should be. omg so this is why the music video chart always seems to reset itself to 2008 with Peter Kay’s Animated Band, Single Ladies, Bad Boys etc I always think whose even buying them and its always the same random songs from 10+ years ago

It actually sounds quite decent oops Her career trajectory is fascinating. I honestly thought she’d quit music eek

Please is absolutely incredible, up there with my favourites from the original album which is certainly saying something! So much fun in the production. Great to see a performance of it to on The One Show earlier! Really helped show off the playfulness of it. Like Hot N Heavy too, again fantastic production!

Still loving Ancient Dreams, definitely my favourite of the three so far! Can’t believe the album is only one week away! 😱 Venus Fly Trap sounded so good from the clip she posted before!

That’s the one I have and I’ve had no issues with it so far, although I’ve only tested with headphones as my next mission is to get some speakers!!

1. James Newman - Embers Glad to see there’s some solace to be taken from this, it would be nice to see the country get behind the song even if it’s too late!

25 please

I think that’s one of the torture methods that they use these days

She’s doing a live online performance in the middle of a desert on June 13: @1395064128218099716 Not sure how comparable prices are with similar online live shows but they seem a bit more pricey for what is an online show oops. She said in her live stream that the vinyl is coming and it’s brilliant but... that was it

This is my favourite so far!! The production is so fun. It feels like it was written as a song first, whereas the previous two feel they may have been written with the message first. Feels like classic Marina but definitely with the vibe of a new era. Hoping for more like this on the album, which I can’t believe is only two weeks away!

So hyped for this! Adore everything she’s put out so far. Hoping for another big pop banger!

That rehearsal clip for the UK is tragic 😭 When will we learn that the staging is a huge part of the performance! Definitely another bottom five...

I don’t know if I can be bothered with it, especially after getting my fix from such a great BBCan series. I might wait a couple of weeks to see where it heads because I’m not sitting through another dominant white alliance season.

Also, a large proportion of backing singers in TV performances and concerts/festivals etc are black, yet the amount of leading black pop stars is so disproportionately small.

The shaved side of her hair has always been an issue for her, I remember she was uncomfortable with it in the VT on X Factor and it’s been talked about in a number of interviews. I’d have liked it to have focused a bit more on how they styled/marketed her in the early days as it does feel a push towards ‘urban’ whilst the others got to be pop. I’m sure the hair stylist wouldn’t have been black. I’ve never fully appreciated in the Wings video that her backdrop was graffiti whereas Perrie got flowers and Jade bow ties. It felt similar to Fifth Harmony where Normani was pushed to the front of the more R&B style songs, definitely in the brginning e.g. Bo$$ despite not being the lead in the song itself. It’s those sort of themes that felt were being touched on, particularly in the artist group part, but it would have been interesting to push it further. Definitely interesting to see her push her label though!
